Chapter 530 History of Rome
Considering that the fleet was likely to berth and land in the barbarian-occupied area, General Hariand dismissed the idea of ​​going inland. His marine soldiers only had 500 soldiers, and they could still deal with small-scale encounters. If it is attacked by thousands of barbarians at once, the only end is that the whole army is wiped out.

Hariand still remembers the records of the Roman Legion's diplomatic war in the Republic era that he read from the history books when he was a child. Even the most powerful Roman Legion on the Dogero continent at that time was besieged by the Qibone barbarians several times his own. , will be defeated. The most obvious example is the Sixth Army that was sent into the abyss by the barbarian prince. Except for the flag officer of the Eagle Banner and a few infantrymen of the Eagle Banner Legion who rushed out of the encirclement, all died in battle.However, after Gaius Julius Caesar became emperor, he reorganized the Sixth Army with the bloody eagle flag, and the Sixth Army with the mission of revenge became the southward attack on the Qibone barbarian occupied area. vanguard.

However, on this strange continent, even if they were wiped out by barbarian attacks, no one would know and would travel across the ocean to avenge them.

After lunch, General Hariand ordered the soldiers to return to the warship and headed south along the coastline.

Looking at the endless ocean, General Hariand was a little melancholy. He spent his whole life looking for new conquerable territories for the empire, but he was still unable to get out of the Dogero continent. This time he crossed the vast ocean to go to the legendary Qi The continent where the bone barbarians migrated was his last attempt. If he could find it, he, as a Roman nobleman, would be allowed to become the colonial ruler of the new continent according to the provisions of the "Canelius Law".

(The "Canelius Law" stipulates that all Roman nobles who are recognized by His Majesty the Emperor and the Senate in the empire, who are the first to discover that they can conquer the New World, will be allowed to become the colonial governor of the New World and passed on from generation to generation.)
The Canilius method was named Roman No.12 Emperor Canilius Julius Caesar. Starting from this emperor, the Roman Empire accelerated the expansion of overseas colonies (mainly the continent of Zambra). During the reign, the North Zambla continent was almost controlled by the Romans, and a large amount of luxury goods such as gold, diamonds, and ivory were transported to the city of Rome, and the wealth of Rome increased unprecedentedly.

……

If the so-called civilized country is not encountered when continuing south, then Hariand can preliminarily conclude that this continent is under the control of the barbarians, and the area controlled by the barbarians will be regarded as a colonizable area, which represents his governor's dream Soon it will come true.

Although he said that he had read the travel notes written by those explorers before he set off, but no one knew whether the explorers added oil and vinegar to them, so he still had great fantasies.

Looking at the waves reflecting the dazzling spots under the sun, Hariander's vision gradually blurred. In the eyes of the bright spots, his memory unknowingly returned to the scene when he met the Roman Emperor before he decided to set off.

It was in the Iulia Palace in Rome (Iulia Palace: the palace built by the first Roman emperor, and has since become the residence of successive emperors), and Hariand in a white toga robe was led by the guards Walking into the study room, the study room is not too big, but the bookshelves are full of various sealed books. Behind the red sandalwood desk, an old man over half a century old is sitting upright, with his back straight, looking up the official documents in his hand.

After leading Hariand into the study, the guard took a step forward, walked up to the old man, leaned down and whispered a few words in the latter's ear, then took a step back and stood upright behind him.The old man immediately raised his head and looked at Hariand who was standing below, with a kind smile on his face.

"Lukius, long time no see, how is Zambola doing?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Uncle, it's fine there except for the heat." Hariand replied, although the other party was his own uncle, he still didn't dare to be slack and rude, because the person opposite him was the supreme ruler of the Roman Empire. Ruler, Rome's No.15 Emperor Dirickson Julius Caesar.

"Ha, I heard that you still miss to explore strange worlds and find new continents?" The old man continued to ask, he did not put down the official document in his hand, but distracted himself from communicating with him while reading it.

Hearing this, Hariand felt a little helpless. He was almost certain that his mother complained to his aunt, and his aunt passed it on to his uncle. "Uncle, you know, this is my dream since childhood." He said helplessly, "I am not willing to remain a naval admiral until I retire. I just want to lead the Imperial Navy to ride the waves and explore new lands."

The old emperor smiled. He naturally understood the thoughts of his only nephew. He watched him grow up and treated him like his own son.

"Lukius, I didn't come to persuade you." He said with a smile.What he said made Hariand a little confused. Seeing him like this, the old emperor continued: "I am going to organize a fleet to explore the east, looking for the continent where the legendary Qibone barbarians migrated, and the returned land. The uncharted world that explorers call the Kuyavi continent."

"!!!"

Although the old emperor didn't continue to speak, Hariand could still hear his implication, and almost jumped up in shock. Hariand quickly took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. The old emperor seemed to see his excitement, There was a smile in his eyes, and he didn't continue talking. He waited for his mood to calm down before continuing: "I have decided to appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the expedition fleet, Lukius, my dear nephew, are you willing?"

"!!!"

"I am willing!"

Hariand said excitedly, this feeling, even when he became a father for the first time more than ten years ago, he was not so excited. Promise your feelings the same (of course no one will stick to it for so long).

Seeing how happy his middle-aged nephew was, the old emperor couldn't stop smiling. Although he always wanted to organize an exploration fleet, but because the empire was at war with the Sultonia Empire in the west , the navy needs to take control of the sea into its hands, so it can only give up, but now that all the coastal territories of the Sultonia Empire have fallen, and the main force of the navy has also been defeated in naval battles, he can draw some warships from the front line.

Speaking of which, except for the Sultonia Empire and the city-state alliance in the west, almost all of the Dogero continent was conquered by Rome, or became an ally of Rome that was actually a vassal state. Looking at the entire continent, no one can compete with Rome. , This is the crushing of science and technology. One side is still in the era of cold weapons in the Middle Ages, and the other side has all staff equipped with hot weapons, and has developed the prototype of a multi-barreled machine gun.
